It's clear there's a lot of strong feelings about this stuff one way or another, but what resonates most strongly with me is the kind of quasi-IC vitriol that gets directed at lawfuls. You can see it clearly in this message dump here.
I was involved in leading GRN| in one form or another for about 5 years, on and off, and I can't remember experiencing even a fraction of this kind of ""in-character"" treatment from other characters at the time. Not from BAF, not from LN, not even from CR| -- the faction that we probably had the most bad blood with. To me, it's very indicative of real-world political attitudes (to be even more blunt about it, largely American politics) slipping into the roleplay environment in a way that is very jarring and very unpleasant to be on the receiving end of. I cannot for one second blame lawful players for getting sick of taking another big fat L when this is the kind of context they're trying to operate in.
